### 1/5 — Huh?

*2014-11-01, version 1.3*

Had no idea what this app was and why it was on my phone. Bolt became Pepper? Tapped to find out what it was and it flashed a screen of photos and crashed immediately. Repeatedly. Don't need it.

### 5/5 — Photo messaging the fast way

*2014-10-15, version 1.3*

Useful application for photo messaging and sharing moments. Best thing, you can save your photo moments and access them later on your phone. And above all it's super fast.

### 4/5 — Way more convenient than Snapchat!

*2014-09-14, version 1.2*

I was a huge fan of snapchat, but it started to get annoying that I would constantly open a picture and forget what it said by the time I could reply. This is way better. You can always refer back to your sent and received pics! (As soon as all the bugs are good and fixed, 5 Stars for sure!) Thanks For A Great App!

### 5/5 — fantastic

*2014-08-16, version 1.1*

i love this app. amazing...

### 5/5 — Awesome. I want to leave a picture review...

*2014-08-14, version 1.1*

Because it's that good. But I can't. One day apple...one day.
I like to try a lot of new apps when they first come out...but this is the first photo messaging app that's so easy and fast to use I would actually recommend it to all my friends.

Snapchat is a pain to use and impossible to save my favorite pictures. Takes too many clicks to send an image. Bolt is just right...

### 5/5 — Great Work

*2014-08-12, version 1.0*

Way to take one snapchat and Instagram!! Amazing app!! Simple to use!!! Way better then any app that snapchat, Instagram, or Facebook have made!

### 5/5 — Really great launch, needs improvements

*2014-08-11, version 1.0*

The idea is fantastic.  Snapchat had become a completely new animal and is fairly off putting, but "Bolt" is a great, fresh, simplistic new take on photo messaging.  Fast processing and easy on the eyes UI, this first launch is a great foundation.  

Needs:

 editing capabilities. Like snapchats quick fixes. 

Front facing camera flash, brightening the screen is a simple but important innovation.  

Stabilisation, just small bugs like crashes and such.  

Overall can't wait to see where it goes.  Good luck guys!

### 5/5 — Cool app

*2014-08-05, version 1.0*

Faaaast, i like it
